lately been pouring forth their denunciations on the good people of Rouen from the pulpit of their Cathedral. A sort of combat seems to have taken place between audience and the spiritual authorities. The preacher fired anathemas at the people, and the people rockets at the preacher ; there were fulminating bulls and ful minating balls, the thunders of excommunication, and the hissing of squibs. In the midst of this confu sion the Jesuits elevate the host, hoping that by its miraculous efficacy the storm will be allayed "point du tout"—the scene is hissed, the farce excites diversion, and the performers are driven off the stage. On the following day they return, supported by the military, and the tumult is renewed—the Palace of the Archbishop is besieged, and several of the Mis- sionaries, falling into the hands of the populace, nar rowly escape with their lives. These scenes lasted from the 17th to the 19th instant. Letters from Rio Janeiro of the 6th and 15th March have been received this morning. They announce the arrival of the January Packet - from England the Re covery of Guernsey, from Oporto,- and the Phoenix, from Jersey. Coffee was very scarce, and high prices asked by the dealers. The news of the commercial distress in London had not tended to lower it. Ex 'change had fallen considerably ; it had been done , at 501, and drawers were talking of 48d. Sugars had arrived at the latter date from Campos, but as they had not been examined, no prices had been fixed : the holders talked of 2,600 for first quality. The Rotterdam Steam Boat, has arrived, and brought Letters of the 9th of May, new stile, from St. Petersburgh. Some of the Letters are of a war like nature, but from the circumstance of the exchange rising, (having been done at 9 13-32, and closed at 9, 7-16), it would appear that the general opinion Was of a peaceable nature. The following are extract; from the German• Mail received this morning : MUNICH, MAY 16. A courier from Stockholm, arrived here yesterday, bringing to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Leuchtenberg, that happy eveet, that her daughter, the Crown Princess of Sweden, was safely delivered of a Prince on the 3d of May. To-morrow the Duchess will go with her family to Eichstadt, where, as we lea, the marriage of the second Princess of Leuchtenberg, with Ids Highness the hereditary Prince of Hohenzeltern Hechingcn, will shortly be celebrated. Large quantities of oats have been bought up in the corn markets of Munich and Erding, by which the prices of that article have been a little advanced. TRIESTE, 3tAY 8. The steam-boat from Venice arrived to-day with the news that the Austrian Captain Butlenge had arrived there from Corfu, 'Vida ihs very unexpected intelligence of the taking of Missolonghi `'on the 28d of April. According to his account, the taking of the place was accom- Dallied with circumstances which must excite astonishment and compassion throughout Europe. The Egyptians in the camp are stated to have taken a messenger of Nato Borzaris, from whose :'Papen they discoVered that the besieged had concerted a sally with .6oura and Karaiskaki, acting in the rear of the besieged army. They detained the messenger, and the sally was made, which the EgYptians were prepared to oppose. Noto Bozzaris was compell ed to retreat, and the Egyptians entered the gates of the town with tGe besieged. The latter, as soon as they got into the town, put to 'huh their wives and children, who offered themselves volun- Ivy victims, and then blew up the works, so that the Turin; Yoand only a mass of rains. Such is the account we receive from Venice. Thougk the friends of the Turks here rejoice at this tnelinchuly account, some are inclined to doubt it, because we have no throct news from the lonian Islands. TIMM!, MAY 10. We are still without direct news from the lonian Islande. Letters from Venice relate tho fall of Missolonghi, with circum. stances that make it more memorable and glorious than the &- flutes itself. We have a letter from Leghorn of the sth May, which affirms, that news of the 27th had been received there from ae-corang to which the garrison of Missolonghi had made a " easeful sally on the 24th April.

' A dreadful murder was perpetrated on Monday night, at a small village called Winton, between Pa tricroft and Warsley, five miles from Manchester. About half-past six o'clock, two men entered the public-house, " The Jolly Carter," kept by Jos. Blears, and called for liquor. They had not sat long before they urged the landlord to join, upon. whom they pressed glass after glass, till he became intoxicated. They inquired whether they could be accommodated With a bed, when an answer was returned in the af firmative. About half-past eleven o'clock they signi fied their intention to retire, and were shown to an upper chamber by the servant girl. Immediately on reaching the door of the room, one of them turned upon the female, and aimed -a blow at her with a knife. In the struggle, and with a view to defend herself, she held up her hands, and the fingers of one of them were nearly cut off. They next made a dreadful stroke at the throat, and nearly severed the head from the body. • A boy who was sleeping in the same room, and in such a situation as to • see what was going for ward, leaped out of bed, and, in his terror, threw • himself over the rails of the staircase, and flew out at the door. One of the men instantly followed him, and in running down stairs met the mistress of the house, who had heard the noise, and was on her way to in quire into its cause. The man who held the knife, which was still reeking with human blood, struck at het with all his strength ; added to which was the weight of his own person, on his rapid descent down the stairs. The instrument entered the bone below the check, penetrated above the upper jaw, and lodged in the back part of her mouth, where it was left by the vil lain, who, with his companion, pursued the b o y who had escaped. The poor lad fortunately succ ee d e d in concealing himself in a sough, near the place. The murderers, probably fearing that he had given the alarm, fled. The landlord was unable to render any assistance ; and there is little doubt, from the circum stance of their having reduced him to• a state of help lessness, that they had - contemplated the murder of the whole family. The servant girl was murdered on the spot ; and tote landlady, though living, is in a very dangerous state, the knife having been struck with Such violence into the bone, that the blade was com pletely curved, and it took considerable force to ex tract it. Pursuit after the murderers is making in every di rection ; and, as they are known, there is little doubt but they will soon fall into the hands of Justice. They are two travelling hawkers (Scotchmen), named Alexander and Michael APKean (or keand), bro= thers. A reward of 501. is offered for their appre hension. The poor girl who was so inhumanly mur dered is named Elizabeth Bates. The Inquest will be held this day (Wednesday). Early on Friday night last, an atrocious murder was committed, in the nighbourhood of Bedele, on the body of a respectable farmer: The perpetrators of this diabolical act, we are sorry to say, remain as vet un discovered. It appears that two men who wore blue coats, passed in the direction of Boroughbridge, through a toll-bar, called Butcher House Bar, on the Leeming Lane road, about 5 o'cloCk in the moitiink of Saturday. It has since been ascertained that on the same day two men with blue coats, and trowsers full at the top, were seen at Beroughbridge, where*,, at a coach-office, they were enquiring for the earliest conveyance to Leeds. They took no places, but went by the Pilot coach. One ,Arian was Jailer ..than his companion. On the Friday three men of suspicious appearance had been seen together, in the vicinity of where the foul act was perpetrated, and had the place been very insolent to the inhabitants of some farm houses; it is supposed that if the ,murder. were' com mitted by this party, one of the men might have de parted for Leeds, by one of the coaches on the Lee ming Lane road, It is believed that the unfortunate man, at the time he was murdered, had some money upon his peraon. On Friday he had received -at the Leyburn Bank a bill for 261. dated London, March 9, and drawn by 11- „agar and Co. upon J. aml, A, Vincent, Little S. Thomas Apostle-street, London; and in addition to this, i; is thought that he was possessed of !some of the notes of either the Richmond or Leyburn Bank of Messrs. Hutton, Other, and Co. The Rev. T. W. Morley, of kirklington,.near Bo roughbridge, has been most active in tus endeavours to and out the wretches who have been guilty of this murder. The Mayor of this Borough received infor mation of the affair on Sunday, since which time Mr. Read, our Chief Constable, has- been diligent in his search after the villains.. - It ' seems that two men did arrive in Leeds on Saturdatnight by the-Pilot Coach, but they . departed without exciting! any - a 0" picions- as to thew character.--,Leeds Independent. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, (Tuts Dir.) COMMITTEE OF PRIVILEGES. It was resolved that the Lords Cremoine and AM, borough had made out their claims to vote at the elec tion of representative Peers for Ireland.' By the Act of the Union with Ireland his Majesty is allowed to create only one Irish Peer for every three that are ex tinct. The House last year came to a resolution that the. Roscommon .Peerage was extinct, and that being the third, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield was created Lord Bloomfield ; but there now appear two claimants for the Roscommon Peerage, if either of them succeeds it will be attended with a violation of one of the arti cles of the Union. ' THE DE LISLE PEERAGE. It vas resolved, that there did not appear sufficient grounds to advise his Alajesty to accede to the petition, of the claimant. THE ANNANDALE PEERAGE. Lord REDESDALE, in adverting to this claim, said that some active Attorney should be appointed by the House to examine into the right of claimants—it often happened, that titl es were given to claimants to the prejudice of persons who had a superior right—all for' want of proper investigation: As the claim in ques tion was founded on being descended from a younger branch of,the family, it was meet that the claimant should satisfy their Lordship; that the elder branches of the family were extinct. -It was, therefore, resolved, that the further consi deration of this claim be adjourned till next Sessions, and that the petitioner be requested to inform the House, whether the issue of James, first Lord .john stone, and of Henrietta, only daughter of the Mar quis ,of Annandale, and great grandiMither to the claimant, be extinct. • The Earl of LIMERIC perfectly concurred with the Noble Lord as to the appointment of some person to investigate claims. It was more particularly wanted in Ireland to put a stop to the absurd pretensions of some persons who had no right whatsoever. .The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he was placed in a disagreeable situation on the . death of a Peer; application was always made to him to issue a writ to his successor ; in such cases he found it necessary to ask very delicate questions, such as whether his parents had been married ? was he born in wedlock ? &c., though this was his duty, yet the claimant in general felt offinded. The Committee then adjourned, and the Bishop a St. David read prayers. APPEALS.--THE KING V. DALY. The Lord CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment in this case, said that it was an appeal from a decree of the Court of Exchequer Chamber in Ireland. The question entirely turned on the constructions of an Act passed in the 7th year of the reign of Henry VII, commonly called Poyning's Act, whereby it was en acted that no person should be capable of being elected a. Burgess of any City or great town in Ireland - , unless he resided therein, &c. The defendant was a non-resident, and a Member of Parliament for Gal way, and also the chief magistrate and a burgess of the town. He, the Lord CHANCELLOR, was of opinion, that though the Act in question imposed a fine on the Mayor for electing a non-resident, yet it did not avoid the election ; but there were points of trading in the proceedings which were very objection able, if the parties wished to have a decision on - them, he would consult the 12 Judges respecting them, but if they should be content with his Lordship's decision on the Act of Parliament, he was of opinion that the decree of the court of error should be affirmed. COURT 'OR COMMON PLEA S.--('tuts DAY.) - DAVIN V. PATTI'. This was an action for false imprisonment, and the . Jury gave a verdict kw the plaintiff—Damages 401. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT--f fnis Day.) WELLESLEY V. THE DUKE OP DEAUFORT. A Petition in this cause, stood in his Honour's Paper, which was struck out when called on, no par ties appearing in it. The Court supposed no one appeared, in consequence of the case being before the Lord Chancellor. His HONOUR beard Short causes to-day ; but nothing of any interest came on in the course of the morning. COMMITTAL OF MR. E. G. WAKEFIELD. MACCLZSTIZI.D, TURSDAT IsTIOHT. This afternoon the final examination of Mr. Ed ward Gibbon Wakefield took place at Disley, a small village about 13 miles north-east of this town, and on the borders of Derbyshire. The Magistrates present ,were—T. W. Tatton, S. P. Humphreys, and George Newton, Esqrs., Arr. Vaughan, of Stockport, attending as their clerk. • Mr. Turner, Miss E. Turner, Miss Turner, and Miss. Daulby, who keeps the boarding school, near Liverpool, from which Miss Tnmer.was seduced,were present. Miss Daulby, Mr. Turner, and 'Mr, Grimditch (Mr. Turner's solicitor),, were exaMined, or rather their examinations on a previous occasion were. read over in the Court, with the approbation Of Mr. Wake field, whO acceded to that mode of recapitulating the evidence: But the most material testimony was that given by H. Critchley, Esq. Miss Turner's uncle, which made out a case of very deep aggravation against the prisoner. It was 4 °solo& before the examinations were finish ed ; and after about three quarters of an hour's deli beration, the Magistrates bent for Mr. Wakefield into ti 4 main room, and, informed him that,' after mature deliberation of the main fsets'of the case, they felt themselves bound to commit him. to Lancaster Castle, to take his trial fir Me capital felony, under the stat. of Henry VII.

A ridiculous story appeared in the Morning Chro nick; a few days ago, that in consequence of the King having, by the advice of his physicians, finally deter mined upon not returning to Brightim, the Pavilion, after being stripped of such internal and external orna ments as may be found of use in the decoration of the new palace of Buckingham House, will be sold in lots to those builders who may be disposed to pu rc h ase . This story is only i n k ee pi ng with the numerous, but futile attempts to depr e ci a t e B r i g h ton , w hi c h h ave proceeded from certain quarters ; in the present in stance, however, the thing is so absurd as to defeat itself: and it should also be recollected that this is not the first time reports, equally wonderful and equally veracious, have appeared in the same paper. A HINT TO SWINDLERS.—A society has recently been formed in this town, by many respectable trades men, with the view of protecting themselves against swindlers and others, by whom they have frequently suffered, in consequence of their being unable to de tect such characters before they had trusted them with their goods. • The grand match of Cricket between Brighton and Midhurst, for 50 sovereigns a side, takes place in Ireland's grounds on Monday next, and excites an unusual degree of interest among the amateurs of this manly game. We regret to say, that some busy, thoughtless, headstrong booby, has had the hardihood to inocu late several persons residing in some of the back streets of Brighton, with the small-pox, and that the lives of several persons are despaired of, and others have died of this dreadful malady. We understand the District Society intend taking the matter up, and to prosecute the offender with the utmost rigour of the law. Poor and ignorant persona require protection from the effects of Caudle sometimes. REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE. The following singular ,fact may be relied.on, as being literally true _ _ X" few years ago a tradesman of this town having been unfortunate in business, went to reside in London, where he endeavoured to commence business again, but one of his creditors arrested and threw him into the king's Bench prison. His wife was then entirely destitute, with a family of young children, and another at the breast, and she was; yeduced to the greatest distress. After a time, however,, she managed to hire a little shop and parlour, as thoSe dark holes in London are called, in one of the lowest streets in East Smithfield. Here she tried to set up an eating house,_ and sometimes sh e manage d to get a J o i nt of meat'of the most ordinary kind, and dress for sale. At other times she was unable to accomplish even this. It hap pened that one day an old man, a common'beggar, came to her door, and solicited alms, and she gave him a crust of bread. A short time afterivards he came again with the same request, and she relieved him, observing that she had but little to spare, but what she had he was welcome to. A third time the old man came, and again asked for charity, and, as she was looking up the mouldy crusts, he said to her, " Mistress, it seems to me that you are more in want of assistance than myself." " Indeed I am," replied the poor wo man ; " none knows my distress but myself. I have these poor Children to support, and my husband is in gaol. ." Then I will assist you, my good woman," said the mendicant, and he pulled out a purse from beneath his old tattered garments, and gave it to her, telling her at the same time that he, notwithstanding his miserable appearance, had a great deal of money, and she might use what he had given her freely. ." I am old," said he, " and my. days .must be short ; pro mise me only this, that I shallnot be left forlorn and desolate on i bed of death, and all I have I. will leave to you ; and the silent tear glistened in his eye as his Arembling lips added, " for I am .alone in the : world. In what terms- of gratitude. and . thankfuiness the p oor woman expressed her feel ings, I' shall leav'e the reader to imagine. It was a gleam of sunshine passing through the desolate mintl. In a few days the shop was painted and cleaned, and a jolly piece of roast beef decorated the.window. The old Man lodged in the bowie, and every attention was paid: to hiS comf or t .by the good woman. Her busi .ness increased, and found herself getting into comfortable circumstances, and to add to her happi ness, her husband was, released from gaol, and con ducted the business with spirit. . One day the old tnim Went 'oat, and was seized with 'a fi t in the street At . a . , distance from his home. He was,conveyed to, au hospital by the bystanders fin a state of. insensibility. As soon as he recovered he raved for his landlady, and with considerable difficulty he made some of the people in the hdspital understand where she was to be found. She was sent for, and on her arrival the old mendicant addressed himself to her, and.expressed his sense of the kindness she had shown him.
